So, lets try set the record straight and see if we can hit this TA over the head with a bucket of idiot sauce. I know many of the political pundits out there like to go on and on about how we’ve fallen into this “wussification of America” mentality (everyone gets a trophy, there are no winners and losers, kickball being banned, can’t say Merry Christmas without offending someone), and after reading stuff like the above, I couldn’t agree more. Between squats being too dangerous and making our inner thighs flabby and deadlifts being one of the worst things we can do to our spine, what are we left to do: Easy stuff like Pilates and leg presses? Both of which are the equivalent of a nuclear bomb going off in your spine? I don’t quite understand the mentality of some people today. They were un-swayed, and he mentioned how someone had him doing deads off of a 6 inch box and “it destroyed my back…not in a good way.” I talked about how a proper deadlift with a good flat back is great for you, and that a shitty deadlift will hurt you (a shitty anything will hurt you). At that point they said “its one of the worst things you can do for your spine”. They said “something something deadlifts something something”, and since I love the deadlift like a fat kid loves cake, I asked what they were talking about. He walked into class and overhead the TA talking to another student. Last week one of the readers of this blog emailed me and couldn’t believe what he had just heard.

Yep you heard it here first – according to a local exercise physiology TA:ĭeadlifts are one of the worst things you can do for your spine. “Deadlifts Are One of the Worst Things You Can Do For Your Spine”
